Almost 7 years later and the opening music still gives me chills. I hope that others still come back to this video to remind them when CrossFit became special to them.

2023, and I’m still watching this documentary! Best days in Crossfit.

I started CrossFit a little while ago and it was one of the best decisions I've made. Before I started, I definitely underestimated how brutal it is. You really have to be committed, but it is well worth it for the feeling afterwards. The men and women that compete at the games seem to not feel pain. They are willing to push themselves past the point of exhaustion for the sport that they love and it is a huge motivator for amateurs like me. However, the only negative aspect of crossfit is that you need a lot of supplies for it. It is an expensive workout.

The section in the middle about what CF training is needs to be a standalone video. Froning calling out the idiots was great. Make it happen HQ.

I'm a crossfitter and I respectfully disagree. Calling people ignorant to the methodology of crossfit "idiots" is unnecessarily disrespectful and frankly, pretty unintelligent in and of itself. He's talking about METCONS vs. the complete picture, it's not serious enough for name calling. "Misguided," "ill-informed" or simply "they don't understand" would've sufficed. We get it though, he's passionate. I imagine discussion on topics outside of working out with Rich Froning to be inspiring and thought provoking.

Michael Wright Well, in my experience, there's a willing ignorance about CrossFit and crazy hatred and name-calling directed at CF. Having a conversation about how strength and conditioning are within CF and that metcons should be used to track progress or in competition settings doesn't usually work with the people I've encountered. So if they won't hear reason and are unwilling to have a candid discussion without getting caught up on something like kipping in a competition, they are idiots.

Ambis Magee I think we all encounter the same issues socializing the validity of crossfit. I don't debate with the uninformed about it and if I did, I honestly wouldn't mind being called an evangelist. Top "personal trainer" cert programs teach HIIT that looks alot like crossfit to me. It's evidence based, results driven and time tested. It's science. I predict our military to centralize their training methodology around cf in the near future (they're already incorporating it now). And no question, Froning is our Tiger Woods of the 00's. He's an amazing athlete and I appreciate what he's done for the sport through performance alone. My assertion was based upon the notion that the top reps of our community should treat their leadership role with respect. However, I'm pushing 50. 20 years ago, I would've been on board with "**** em, if they don't get it or refuse to try to get it, **** em!" Anyway, there's a more than a solid chance that only crossfitters have made it that far into the video.

I love Camille. She is an amazing athlete, and she understands what kind of sacrifice and the emotional toll that takes to be the best at something. What I like about her is that you can see her evolve as an athlete from 2010 to 2015, and it is great to see the work that she put into it in those 5 years. And also she's a full time student for Chemical Engineering and she struggled with eating disorders before Crossfit, she is truly a fighter. She's a true inspiration.

You can say anything you want about Crossfit but you just can't deny the fact that the dedication and the drive people have because of it is inspiring and just fun. You can go to the gym and see buff ass people just being miserable and not having fun during their workouts. But people that do Crossfit are just more open minded and go in the gym with a different attitude.

I've been doing CrossFit for a little over 3 years now, and when i see things like this it just reminds me of why i do it. I love that i am always being surprised by this sport and constantly learning new things. This video motivated me to train just that much harder and continue to reach new heights as an athlete, As well as enter my first competition in 2 months. Great video, I look forward to more content in the future.

Sam Briggs is a phenomenon, a force of nature, just inspiring.

You out did yourself on this one HQ It was really cool watching Camille relentlessly attack that sled. Kind of got to see the rough side to training and what these guys go through. My favorite Crossfit production(besides the games) yet.

Everyone else: "you HAVE to enjoy the journey there if you want to make it in this sport. Winning and podium isn't motivation enough." Rich: " F*ck that. I hate losing and love winning."

Fantastic look into the CrossFit Games. Excellent and artistic and something that really should not be limited to KZread. Would hope that this will make it to TV at some point. Well done, Ian.

I love what Josh Bridges said about the Khalipa and Froning reference.

Gordo Thomas How can you call crossfit athletes mediocre weightlifters? Mat Fraser was an olympic weightlifter and is elite. Many og the athletes have 600+ deadlifts and 450+ squats. You also mention that other pro athletes in different sports don't do crossfit, which is a lie. Head Coach Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints has incorporated crossfit into the team's workouts. They actually benefit from that type of training. Boxers and MMA fighters usually don't do crossfit, although there is exceptions, but there's a reason for that. They train for a specific reason, which is to fight, and therefore they go through a specific type of training. So why should they do crossfit? To me you sound like the stereotypical tough guy that hates crossfit because it's "homosexual". Btw.. I would like to see you compete in a crossfit workout against any of the athletes that ever participated in the Crossfit Games. You would get crushed in every single workout by every single of them, so why don't you shut up.

Oscar Gonzalez You mean there are 1 or 2 people who were olympic athletes that turned to crosshit? No shit, there have been olympic athletes that have turned to everything. They've turned to drugs, they've turned to murdering, some have joined other sports like UFC, Hockey or wrestling. Is that your stamp of approval? "Well olympic athletes have done it so it's okay!" Crosshit isn't a sport. It's a cult. It's $100+ a month to have DYEL clueless egotistcle douche bags tell you that jumping on a box and doing 50 snatches with 95lbs will make you a "true" athlete.

Superb job. Very motivating and fun. I would like to have seen a few seconds of Camille pushing the sled at the games after all the time spent on the Colorado dirt road.

It's amazing.The companionship of crossfit is amazing.

Man that was a good hour and thirty minutes.

2021 and I still think this might be my favourite games documentary of all time.

I remember the Sunday morning of the 2011 Games at the Tennis venue. I was sitting in the first row when Kristin Clever was yelling at her sled because it wouldn't move. Time was ticking away and she couldn't get any traction due to her shoes slipping. Lipson has a good philosophy in that the frustration and "self talk" that comes out of it is circular thinking and results in a mental decline. During practice is the best time to deal with those situations. I also like Castro's Lebron James analogy. It makes sense.

I'm a guy and it moved me to tears!! They really deserved what they worked for so long and hard!! That video motivated me so much!!!!

UOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW This video is awesome !!! No one can have doubts that this is an exciting video, and hide their eyes full of tears, and have pride and love for this sport !!!

5’5 on a TALL day. Classic Bridges. 😂

Fair play Ian great work I think everybody can agree when watching this after training
